Reach the Beach 2026

Description

Reach the Beach is known for being the best-supported ride in the Pacific Northwest! Reach the Beach Oregon is widely acknowledged as the official start of the cycling season! PBC has a long history with this event, and it has been a source of rewarding and great enjoyment for many riders. Four different scenic route options and full support along the way, this ride welcomes cyclists of all levels. Together, we’ll ride through Oregon’s beautiful backroads to the finish line beach party at Fort Stevens State Park.

This isn’t just a ride - it’s a movement for healthier lungs and cleaner air. Your fundraising supports the American Lung Association’s groundbreaking research, advocacy, and education efforts. Let’s make a real difference, one pedal stroke at a time.
